and bind l5.0Oo copies additional of the Second
Reader. paying especial care 10 the binding.
This was done because the returns show
that the call for second readers exceeds
that of other readers, and the rule of the
State Board of Education is that the stock
on hand of no book shall be permitted to
fall below the figure 10000 The purpose
of the committee is to follow the order
with similar orders for other books of the
series sufficient to keep the reserve stock
above the minimum figure named.
The truth is that all this attempted
furore concerning the printing of sufficient
textbooks originated in misrepresentation
to be charitable-on the part of workers
in the State bindery, concerning the duties
of the Governor and Superintendent, and
has since been promoted by political dem
agogues, and fostered by Democratic con-
spirators secretly encouraged by Eastern
book agencies, to serve selfish ends and
make capital against Republican official,
wholly and purposefully ignoring the fact
that the Democratic Governor as Chair
man of the Executive Committee, in this
whole business, has acted conformity with
his colleague, the Republican Superintend-
ent, and that they are unit upon the
wisdom of the policy pursued.

THE KNIGHTS AND THE CHINESE

The dispatches convey the information
that the Knights of Labor organization at
the East is enlisting Chinese workers in
its ranks. This will be unpleasant news
for Knights of Labor upon this coast. They
will never consent to share any of the ben
efts of their associated effort with class
that is hostile, by nature and habit, to free
labor interests. The Eastern knights are
unquestionably anxious to enlist all wage
winners under their banner, but if they
aim to elevate the labor standard and re-
duce somewhat the friction between labor
elements, they have pursued a suicidal
policy in enrolling the Chinaman as
knights, and thus according them social
equality, so far as labor unity Is con-
cerned The Chinese laborer, in COMPETE
ton with the American worker generally
puts the latter at the bottom or Gusts him
entirely. The Chinese methods of living
are SO dissimilar to those required of the
American workman that there is no
equality in the contest between them.
Competition between these two elements
means the degradation of the latter. 1t
must come down to the Chinese level-the
Chinaman never rises to the American
standard. Workers upon this coast under
stand this so well that it is simply
lost labor for Eastern Knights to attempt
to show them that the Chinese within the
organization are less dangerous to labor III
terests than when without it. Thirty-tive
years experience with Chinese upon this
coast is not likely to be overcome by the
reasoning" of those at the East, who see
in the Chinaman only means to labor ac-
complishment, and wholly ignore the
vital questions of progressive civil
ization involved in his competition
with workers, upon whom the country de-
ponds SO largely for the character of its
citizenship.

Last Friday, at Woodland, DIR. O'Leary,
who delivered several interesting lectures
in this city before large audiences last
summer. was found guilty by jury of
misdemeanor, in practicing m edicine with
out having obtained a certificate as to his
qualifications from the State Medical Ex-
amipers. 1t seems, however, according to
the Woodland Democrat, that be was not
convicted after all. When he was called
to plead in the Superior Court, he pleaded,
first, mot guilty." second "once i'll jeop-
ardv," third, former acquittal." The State
omitted last Friday to have the jury find
on the two pleas last named. and lawyers
say without such finding no judgment
can be entered on the verdict of the jury.
This case has been in and out of Court so
often that we doubt if O'Leary or his at
torney or the District Attorney can say
just where it is. 1t was first tried by jury
several days in the Justice Court. when the
Court ruled it had no jurisdiction. Then
came preliminary examination, a hold
ing, habeas corpus demurrers in abund-
ance. several of which were submitted to
the Superior Court. Finally trial which
seems to have been a failure. A move for
a new trial will be made, but whether it
will be granted or not is not known.

A coMMENpABLE EXAMPLE.

Sonoma county maintains ON leading
business street in San Francisco an exhibit
ton of her products. 1t has proved to all
inquiring visitors TO the State source Of
broad interest and valuable information.
The example of Sonoma is worthy of imi-
tation by other counties. and especially
those through which the current of tour
ist travel does not run. The cost of MAIN
tanning such an exhibition, if three or four
northern counties would unite in the eff
fort, would be light, and the results mani

Chico and Vicinity.

The SACRAMENTO RECORD UNION of Satur.
day last devotes over a page to description
of Chico and the country Immediately sur
rounding. The information is extensive,
and the article gives splendid idea of our
beautiful little city. Pictures are given OF
the Odd Fellows Temple and the Oakdale
school-house, and also of the Normal
School building as it is to be. The RECORD
UNION is one of our firm friends, and Chico
people should show their appreciation of il
by purchasing copies of the paper to send
away. No better and more thorough de-
scription of our town has yet been printed
in any newspaper.-CticO Enterprise.

THE AMERICAN EXPOSITION,

The opening of the American EXPOSE
ton in London does not appear to have
created any widespread interest. 1t is
probable, however, that public concern in
it will grow, and that the exposition will
receive liberal support. 1t is wholly a
private speculation but that is no reason
why it should be ignored. Private man.
agement is certain to be more economical
and may be as successful as that of fairs
under governmental direction. From all
than can be gathered from the English
press, there is reason to believe that the
exhibition will advertise quite effectively
American products and manufactures, the
latter more than the former. 1t will ex-
pose to the English people respectfully
long line of American industrial produc-
ton, with which the general public in
England is not familiar, and will serve to
disabuse the English mind of good many
prejudices and misconceptions. There has
been disposition to belittle the scheme,
simply because it has not the official recog-
milton of our own Government; but if it
is fairly representative exhibit, it
is difficult to understand how
the non-attachment to it of the
name of the President, can detract from
its instructive value. In the departments
of agricultural and mining machinery,
textile fabrics and labor saving inventions,
the exposition is reported to be large and
interesting, and though meager in other
respects, these alone ought to awaken the
deep interest of our transatlantic cousins.
1t was not projected with view of exhib-
iting raw products, so much as to place on
view the results of American inventive
genius and industrial achievement, and if
in these it proves to be a fair exhibit, it
will accomplish much good. 1t is not COM
forting, however, to learn that the greater
attraction to the English public is the
Wild West show of Buffalo Bill. Without
that America would have been better rep
resented-the impression Bill and his cow
boys and Indians, and bucking mustangs,
and Western mud wagons will make, may
tend to emphasize the belief that it is said
obtains with the less informed classes in
England, that the mass of Americans out
side the great cities, are half horse and
half man order of creation-at least, that
they are half-tamed savages.

Chico.

In our very extended and exhaustive ac-
count of the growth, prosperity and at
fractions of that beautiful garden city,
Chico, in Butte county, there crept in one
or two errors, entirely excusable in the
preparation of notes for such an elaborate
paper. Thus We find that from the list of
public buildings of notable prominence,
the Presbyterian Church was omitted by
inadvertence. So, too, the Masonic Hall
was spoken of as a three-story struct-
ure, instead of a two-story build
ing, while the Odd Fellows Hall
is the three-story building. But these
inaccuracies have in no wise detracted from
the value of the article, which is received
by all the people of Chico as the most ex-
haustive, practical and intelligent exposi-
ton of the claims and advantages of that
locality yet made. That paper, by the
way, is an earnest of the interest the REC
ORD UNION feels in Northern California,
and the perfect faith it entertains in its
permanent and rapid development as one
of the choicest and most desirable sections
with which nature has favored this richly
endowed State.

Contra, and Northern California.

Major Ben C. Truman, the well-known
and popular author of several works upon
California, besides many volumes of high
literary standing and value upon other
topics, is now in New York, preparing to
issue another volume of Homes and
Happiness" having for his field of de-
scription and consideration Central and
Northern California. Major Truman's
works upon Southern California have been
among the most powerful influences
in popularizing and making known
the desirability of that portion OF
the State, and his forthcoming
work will be the best exponent of the re-
sources and claims of this section that has
ever been issued. The volume will be
profusely illustrated, and if any of our
readers who have photographs of vine
yards, orchards or other attractive rural
scenes, will forward the same to T. H.
Goodman, General Passenger Agent, South
ern Pacific Company. San Francisco, they
will be sent to Major Truman, and selec-
tons made and published in the volume
being prepared.

Agony is Courted

By persons who, attacked by mild form
of rheumatism, neglect to seek prompt re-
lief. Subsequent torture is prevented by an
immediate resort to Hostetter's Stomach
Btters. Slight exposure, an occasional
draught, will beget this painful malady,
where there is predisposition to it in the
blood. 1t is not difficult to arrest the trou-
bic at the outset, but well nigh impossible
to eradicate it when matured. No evidence
in relation to this superb blood depurent is
more positive than that which establishes
lis efficacy as preventive and remedy for
rheumatism. Not only is it thorough. but
safe, which the vegetable and mineral pois-
ons, often taken as curatives of the disease,
are not. Besides expelling the rheumatic
virus from the system, it oyercomes fever
and ague. biliousness, constipation and
dyspepsia.
